Geometrical deployment for braided stent

Mohamed Farhat, Pierre Bouillot, Hasan Yilmaz

The prediction of flow diverter stent (FDS) implantation for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is being increasingly required for hemodynamic simulations and procedural planning. In this paper, a deployment model was developed based on geometri ...

Structural plasticity of remote cortical brain regions is determined by connectivity to the primary lesion in subcortical stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Cortical atrophy as demonstrated by measurement of cortical thickness (CT) is a hallmark of various neurodegenerative diseases. In the wake of an acute ischemic stroke, brain architecture undergoes dynamic changes that can be tracked by structural and func ...

Muscle synergies and spinal maps are sensitive to the asymmetry induced by a unilateral stroke

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: Previous studies have shown that a cerebrovascular accident disrupts the coordinated control of leg muscles during locomotion inducing asymmetric gait patterns. However, the ability of muscle synergies and spinal maps to reflect the redistribut ...

Non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for estimating the onset time of permanent cerebral ischemia

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Hongxia Lei, Lara Buscemi Estefanell, Corinne Benakis

The treatments for ischemic stroke can only be administered in a narrow time-window. However, the ischemia onset time is unknown in ~30% of stroke patients (wake-up strokes). The objective of this study was to determine whether MR spectra of ischemic brain ...

Detection of postural transitions using trunk-worn inertial and barometric pressure sensor: application to stroke patients

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Fabien Massé

To better understand how rehabilitation therapy of stroke survivors is transferred in patient’s daily life, activity monitors exist but require multiple wearable devices and may hinder patient’s movements. In this study, the use of a single wearable barome ...

Experimental peripheral arterial disease: new insights into muscle glucose uptake, macrophage, and T-cell polarization during early and late stages

Rolf Gruetter, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common disease with increasing prevalence, presenting with impaired walking ability affecting patient's quality of life. PAD epidemiology is known, however, mechanisms underlying functional muscle impairment remain un ...

Treatment with Angiotensin-(1-7) reduces inflammation in carotid atherosclerotic plaques

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Katia Galan, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini

Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7), acting through the receptor Mas, has athero-protective effects; however, its role on plaque vulnerability has been poorly studied. Here, we investigated the expression of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components in stable and ...

A Robotic System for Quantitative Assessment and Poststroke Training of Forelimb Retraction in Mice

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Marco Mainardi

Background. Neurorehabilitation protocols based on the use of robotic devices have recently shown to provide promising clinical results. However, their efficacy is still limited because of the poor comprehension of the mechanisms at the basis of functional ...

Treatment with Evasin-3 reduces atherosclerotic vulnerability for ischemic stroke, but not brain injury in mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Katia Galan, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini, Jean-Christophe Copin, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva

Neutrophilic inflammation might have a pathophysiological role in both carotid plaque rupture and ischemic stroke injury. Here, we investigated the potential benefits of the CXC chemokine-binding protein Evasin-3, which potently inhibits chemokine bioactiv ...

Sustained Delivery Of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1/Hepatocyte Growth Factor Promotes Endogenous Cardiac Repair And Regeneration In The Chronic Ischemic Heart

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings

The aim of this study was to test the sustained release of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) using an injectable supramolecular hydrogel based on ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) moieties in order to recruit and activate endo ...
